Håvard Sandnes
Sandnes is Managing Partner at Arntzen de Besche. He specialises in employment law and his clients are primarily on the employer’s side in the private sector. He has considerable experience of dispute resolution and in-court advocacy.
Sandnes often assists company managements to handle cases that have a major impact on the business. In connection with cases that are being handled at board level, he is often asked to participate in the board’s deliberations.
Håvard Sandnes is probably the best employment lawyer in Norway. He has an excellent track record and he is the best person you can bring with you into demanding negotiations. He is very strong on communication which I believe is a core added skill to his legal core competencies.
